Welcome to Hill Crest Animal Hospital.co.uk
Traditional values, service and care in a modern setting
Equine
Hillcrest has been providing a service to Equine clients since it was established in 1890.
Much has changed since those early days, particularly the role of the horse. Once predominantly a working vehicle and beast of burden, now commonly seen as a friend providing for our enjoyment in leisure, relaxation and sport. At Hillcrest we have a team of six Equine vets who work from a daily rota system to provide emergency and routine cover for our clients.
Ros Spencer is our Equine Office Manager and provides a valuable link between clients and Vets. She also provides advice on Equine matters.
Contact her directly during office hours on the Equine Office direct line 01257 248927 to organise visits, order drugs for collection, or for your enquiry. Remember that you can also order repeat drug prescriptions by e-mail by prior arrangement.
Messages for non urgent matters can be left at any time on the Equine voicemail box.
